Microgreens

Microgreens are the first true leaves of a plant, harvested 1–3 weeks after germination, before the seedling develops full foliage. They are larger than sprouts but still tender enough to eat raw or lightly cooked. Unlike mature greens, microgreens pack a concentrated punch of flavor and nutrition in a tiny package.

Research suggests microgreens contain 4 to 40 times the nutrients of their fully grown counterparts. In a single handful you can get:

• 2-5x the vitamin C of mature greens
• 4-12x the beta-carotene (vitamin A)
• 3-4x the antioxidant content
• 1.5-3x the minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc)
• High fiber and protein content (especially amaranth & pea shoots) while still keeping the calories low

Beyond general nutrition, specific microgreens have shown promise for serious health conditions:

• Heart disease: Red cabbage microgreens have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Their polyphenols are linked to a lower risk of heart disease.
• Diabetes: Broccoli microgreens may improve insulin resistance, helping move sugar out of the bloodstream and into cells more effectively.
• Cancer: Brassicaceae microgreens (broccoli, radish) are rich in sulforaphane, a compound studied for its potential to prevent or slow cancer cell growth - particularly colon cancer.
• Brain health: Polyphenols in microgreens may support cognitive function and could help delay neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

This carefully curated blend delivers a spectrum of flavors - from peppery arugula to sweet pea shoots - and a powerhouse of nutrients. All varieties are:

• Fully organic (no pesticides)
• Locally grown - minimal transport, fresher produce
• Sustainably packaged in recyclable bags with minimum to zero plastic

Whether you're a chef, a health enthusiast, or simply looking to add a pop of color and nutrition to your meals, our mix is the perfect choice.

• Refrigerate: Storing microgreens in an airtight container lined with a paper towel inside works best. They should last for 6-14 days in the refrigerator.
• Wash (only before use): Even though we grow our microgreens in a controlled environment free of pesticides, you may wash them before consuming. You do not need to wash them before storing; the added moisture will greatly decrease their shelf life.
